THE SOUTH AND MR.. CABLE.

A certain petulanCc is being shown at the
South 10 Mr. Cable. who is accused Of nothing
less than disappearing the section TO which
no belongs The exhibition OF disp casurc Is
not general. perhaps, but it has been marked
enough TO indicate strong feeling The points
Of difference between Mr. Cable and his
Southern critics are scarcely capable Of being
analvzcd by the habiCants Of the "cold North
and tho breezy, bounding West They con-
Germ for tho most part local pcculiaritics qucs
lions Of dialect and idlosyncracy, and generally
speaking, matters about which there seems TO
ho room for great differences Of opinion. 1t
~, however, rather surprising to hear it as
serted that the writer's descriptions and char
actcrizations have injured tho reputation Of
the South, for no such idea appears to have
been entertained outside tia. region, and yet
IL is outside opinion which must have been
affected prcjudicially IL any influence Of the
kind has been excrtcd. Tho Southern resent
mont however, is not a new phenomenon.
though it is one the appearance of which in
any community must be regarded as sure
md certain evidence Of crudeness and imma-
turity
1t is now a good many years since 1t was
possible for any one friend or enemy, citizen
or foreigner, to excite anger in the n orth by
saying no matter what about the country or
the people. But we can many of us remember
n timc when our community cuticle was still
sensitive. and when Trollopo or a Dickens
could throw us into spasms by even attempts
to report facts faithfully. That was the time
Of raw democracy which, like Mr.. Hannibal
Chollop must DO cracked up The South
today is indeed not nearly so sensitive as the
North was then, but the South in its time has
lecn very thin-slSinned. When the Abolition
lists wero most active and outspollen the South
literally writhed under their spoken and
printed denunciations, and the passion Of
anger aroused was quite beyond expression In
any other manner than by mobs and lynch
Jugs. Tho present partial boycott Of Mr.
Cable Is a very different and comparatively
mild and harmless. manifestation, but still 1t
is a proof of sluggish mental growth an evil
dcnco that considerable proportion Of South
en society fingers In tho bonds OF q narrow
and cramping insularity. Outside observers
fail to perceive any unfaithfulncss In Mr.
Cables representations, and are disposed TO
smile at the seriousness Of the charges brought
against him. But even If these charges were
true, an enfranchsed public opinion would re
fuso to entertain them, realizing that they
could not be entertained without demonstrating
a provinciaism of outlook In itself far more
damaging to the reputation OF the section than
anything tho offending author could say.
The prevailing impression Is, and we think
will continue to be, that Mr.. Gable is thor
oughly loyal to the South; that he has tried to
speak words Of truth about ii that he is keenly
alive to Its picturesque and poetic and emo
tional aspects; that he has invested it with
previously unknown charms and attractions :
and that he has given it much to be proud Of,

correspondent of "The London Tines with
interesting details Of the bargain. Alexander
IL attempted at the outset to induce the
European Powers to unite in demonstration
against the Porte, but failed in consequence
Of England's refusal to sign the Berlin note.
His sub jects were frantic for war and he con-
sidered it necessary to keep abreast with pop
ular feeling. He was unwilling, however, to
undertake campaign without providing
against an attack on the Russian flank at
critical stage Of hostilities. Soumaroxof was
sent to Vienna to mako arrangements for
meeting Of the Car and the Emperor at Reich
stadt When the sovereigns conferred early
in 1877 it was proposed that Russia should
occupy Bulgaria, and Austria not only Bosnia
and the Herzegovina, but also Scrvia. The
Car was willing to agree to make CONSTANT
NOBLE a free port if he could succeed In driving
the Turks out Of Europe; and in order to
reconcile tho Emperor 10 the conquest OF the
Balkan he proposed that the Austrian frontier
should be extended from the Carpathians TO
Salonica. The Emperor was to acquire two
Provinces In any event; and II the Russians
should secure control Of Constantinople there
were to be additional compcnsations. The
Berlin Government was fully informed of these
negotiations, and acquicsced in tho secret ar
rangcment for the partition Of European
Turkey. j.
When the terms of this secret compact OF
the three Emperors are scutnzed, one Is at
n loss 10 understand how Lord Beaconsfeld
contrived almost unaided to battle the ambition
Of Russian diplomatists. The Cossack cavalry
we're outside the gates of Constantlnople; the
remnant of the Turkish army had been driven
out of the Balkan and dispersed; Austria and
Germany were under secret pledges to main
tain neutrality and to cooperate in scheme
of partition. How did it como to pass that
Russia. with everything in her favor, halted
in her victorious progress to make the com
promise treaty which was subsequently revised
at Berlin Lord Bcaconsfeld's theatrical dis
play of the scpoys at Malta in connection with
the movement Of the feet may have cxcrtcd an
important influence; but Prince Bsmarcks
own explanation evidently is different one.
He holds Russian diplomacy responsible for
its own failures. Prince Gortschakof held tho
winning cards but fumbed in playing them.

and only business. and he confesses that no
is fascinated by it. He calls 1t science, and
those who have observed bis career can hardly
help remarking that no has made it an art
and worked it for all it is worth. And yet
Governor Hill SHES off when asked to talk
on the subject that lies so close to his heart.
That was the case, at any rate, when tho
correspondent whose piquant letter Is printed
on the thirteenth page of to-day's RIBUNE raised
the question. Mr.. Hills general observations
on legislation and politcs-he was not at all
specific on the latter point-are well worth
reading, and he told good story about tho
Sage of Gramercy Park. 1t is satisfactory TO
know that New York has an Executive Mansion
worthy of her importance and dignity; but we
fancy that there is moro interest Just now In
the occupant of the mansion than in the house
itself

SECRET TREATIES IN Europe.

Prince Bismarck's disclosures respecting
Russian Austrian diplomacy ten years ago have
been most instructive. Ordinarily the secret his
tory OF great war remains q mystery unto the
second or third generation but the campaigns
in Bulgaria and Armenia and the subsequent
peace negotiations have proved a conspicuous
exception TO the rule. Two of the moro i'm
portant secrets were blurtod out at the time,
Through the indiscretion Of one Of the copy
lists in the British Foreign Office tho Anglo
Russian memorandum was published on the
eve of the Congress of Berlin, although both
Governments intended that it should le pro
found State secret The Anglo Turkish Con
vcnton was also disclosed at the instance Of
Lord Beaconsfeld because he was anxious TO
let tho English people know that there was a
partial Offset to the territorial gains of Russia
and Austria; for Cyprus seemed positive
gain for British diplomacy at a time when
other Powers wero extending their sway over
Southeastern Europe There were two State
secrets however, which were wisely kept in
reserve for decade If it had been known in
1878 that Bosnia and the Herzegovina were
the price of Austrian neutrality, Hungary would
have been in revolt against the Emperors
policy, and the occupation Of the Provinces
would have been desperately resisted. If the
precise nature Of the Three Emperors League
had been revealed, the Congress of Berlin
would have ceased to exert supreme authority
in Europe.
The German revelations have been fully con
frmed by Herr Tsza the Hungarian Prime
Minister. There is no longer any ground for
questioning the statement that the war of 1877
was preceded by deed of partition between
Russia and Austria, oountersigned b. Ger
many. A Russian diplomatist, who took part
in the arrangement has furnished Moscow

not forgetting himself. The late reaction asainS'
him however. may, II carried too far, have an
effect contrary to that intended. 1t may cause
the outside world to suspect that Mr.. Gable has
after all been guilty Of misrepresentation
pioturing the South as better than 1t Is, and In
giving it credit for wisdom and tact ii does
not possess. Mr.. cable can well afford TO take
his discipline rhlegmatically, but the censorious
South can by no means afford to retain Its pres
cnt attitude toward him. A people who cannot
stand criticism or mild caricature. especially
when the critics pen and the artists pencil are
welded by the hand Of friend, is necessarily
IN callow state, so to say, unhedged. Now
while it Is necessary to pass through this tran
stion state no people like to be told that they
are in it; and if they wish to avoid such un.
pleasant reminders they should shun the kind OF
behavior which, to employ an expressive slang
term "gives them away In short, the South
would do well to let Mr.. cable alone. 1t may
be right in saying that he has not drawn us
portrait correctly but the world Is ill-natured.

the complaint, is sure to turn the charge 10 tho

LET TIE BATTERY PARK ALONE.

The Park Commissioners will make n serious
mistake il they fail to appreciate the temper
Of the people with regard TO the attempted
spoliation Of the Battery Park by the elevated
railroads. There is no question Of how much
the city can make by permitting this delight
full and historic spot TO be ruined. The city
is not poor in money, but 1t is in resting
places, where a little green grass and few
pretty flowers can relieve the eye and where
some pure air can be given the people who
arc crowded together downtown. Mayor Hewitt
,mght to write some Of his strong letters about
this. The scheme OF the National Guard TO
parade in Central Park was maiscworthy when
compared to this outrage There might be
some excuse offered for placing the ctys
pleasure ground at the temporary service Of
its volunteer defenders. but plan 10 hand over
to a private corporation a beautiful garden
about which cluster thousand almost sacred
memories. and which, moreover, is a positive
necessity TO tho public. Is wholly indcfcnsible.
II II be asked how the elevated roads are
going to provide themselves with the room
and accommodations they need, it Is enough to
reply that that IL their affair. The public
requires that they shall enable themselves to

than by grabbing up Battery Park. The Park
Commissioners need not be solicitous about

be trusted 10 supply some arrangement that
will accomplish their purposes. But even II

English opinion, as will be seen by THE

agrees that the opposition to the Coercion
bill has not been well managed. Thirty five
working days have already been spent over
the bill, and it was the fear Of damaging de-
sertions from the Liberal party that induced
Mr. Gladstone not to make moro vigorous re-
sistance to Mr.. Smiths motion to have the
bill reported on June IL. Mr.. Smiths victory
was an easy one. Mr.. Gladstones speeches
in Wales did not have the effect expected and
on the whole are regarded as damaging to the

correspondent to be extremely mild compared
with the usages Of Congress.
